        <p>One trick to making sure that you don't stress a particular
        syllable is to make sure you don't change the pronunciation of any of the
        syllables. For example, when foreigners incorrectly stress the middle syllable
        of <i>watashi</i>, the first syllable is
        usually warped as a result, and the final word sounds like "wuh-TA-shi." But
        "wuh" is not a Japanese sound at all! So if you pay close attention and make
        sure you give each syllable the correct vowel sound, it'll go a long way to making
        sure you aren't unnecessarily stressing any syllables.</p>        
        
        <p>Okay, then! Let's move on to the consonants. </p>
